Scenario 2 – if you want to build strength, if you want to stay strong but also develop cardiovascular, you know, fitness . Or if you’re training for a sport and you don’t want to compromise on your strength or your muscle necessarily. In this … in this scenario I would recommend doing your Interval training after your strength workout or on a separate day. Here’s why. You always want to start your warm up… you always want to start your work out start with a 5 to 15 minute good light to medium intensity warm up if you want or … not if you want but you have to. Ummm… then you can get into your strength training routine right.
you need to allow your body to be fresh so that it can have all its energy stores in tact and available, allowing you to lift more weight and push yourself harder with weights even at a high intensity which is of vital importance when you are looking at building up your strength . If you’re tired to begin with you’re not going to get the benefits.
Once you’ve done your Athletic workouts or strength training, you know, workout, routine whatever it might be, then you can take a little 5 minute breather, you could have some water, have a little stretch if you needed to. Then you can hop into your cardio. Do your intervals for anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, that’s all you need really, right? Good high intensity, followed by low intensity, high intensity, low intensity. Different protocols depending on your goals that’s all good. If you need help with this come back to my blog, yurielkaim.com. I got all the interval training programs that you’ll ever need.
And again the key is that by this point you’ve done your strength work, right. Your muscles have done the work, now you can allow your body to get into its cardio zone working through interval training. There’s not going to be as much compromise in the interval training component because you still have somewhat, you know, significant energy stores for the interval training component So if you’re looking to build strength do the interval training after doing your strength training workout.
The other option is that you can just do your interval training on a separate day altogether. So, do your strength training workout when you’re fresh, do it on its own because again strength training workouts even in themselves can act as very strong cardio vascular stimulators because they are so demanding, right ? They get your heart rate pumping. You know, if you’re wearing a heart rate monitor or if use the … you know. You … you feel it. You’re huffing and puffing if you’re lifting weights, full body movements. I mean, there’s no denying that.
But again if you want you can do your interval training on an off day, right? So if you’re lifting Monday, Wednesday, Friday do the interval training Tuesday, Thurs … Tuesday, Thursday, take the weekend off to allow your body to recover. Give that a shot.
So, 3 scenarios – or 2 scenarios, really – with 3 options. Scenario 1 we want to burn fat we do the interval training high intensity before the strength training, that’s getting you the best results. If your aim is to build your strength and performance themn you really don’t want to be compromising on it and i would suggest you do theinterval training or if its the high intensity cardio then do that after you’ve done your strength training wortkout . Or do the interval training on its own, on its own day – doesn’t have to take too much, right.
Too many people spend way too much time in the gym. 2 hours is much too much time to be working out. You can get a phenomenal workout anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes with everything warm up, strength, interval the whole bit. myFitteru workout that’s what it’s all about.
